CAMPAIGN NCM ENTERING THE HOME STRETCH:

We are now moving into the final weeks of the campaign and the steady surge which has been building for our candidate will culminate in an overwhelming victory on November 6th•••however, in order to make this prediction come true, it is necessa~ that we all make a continuing 100% effort in support of Dick Nixon s candidacy between now and election day. In these closing weeks, it is of the utmost importance that good com­ munications be maintained between the State Headquarters and the local communities •••our several programs must be clearly understood and vigorously pushed. To help accomplish this purpose, we will be mail­ ing a bi-weekly newsletter to all Nixon headquarters and division and community chairmen in Los Angeles County beginning with this issue.

DENOCRATS FOR NL~ON Democrats for Nixon State Headquarters opened last week at 641 South Flower St., Los Angeles 17 (MA 7-0924) •••each division and community chairman is reminded of his responsibility to relay to that address the names of local Democrats who have been appointed as division and community Democrats for Nixon Chairmen and that such information be mailed to headquarters immediately together with lists of additional Democrats who wish to join the Committee.

VICTORY SqUAD This is of great importance•••Each community chairman is expected to furnish a minimum of 100 volunteers to the Los Angeles County Precinct Organization's Victory Squad. Effective enlistment of these volunteers will help insure a massive Republican vote on November 6th. Give the names of these volunteers to your field representative and DO IT NOW. For maximum effectiveness, these names should be turned in by October 19. Also, as a reminder, each Nixon headquarters is to be made available as the local Victory Squad Headquarters on Election Day •••each

.111 ~'H'" '"~ U S II. - 2 ­ Assembly District Victory Squad Chairman has been advised of this policy position on the part of the Nixon organization and will be contacting each of our headquarters in his area at an early date to nail down the necessary details•••it is suggested that if you do not he. hear from him within the next ten days that you should so advise your field representative who in turn will contact Victory Squad Headquarters. OPERATION TELEPHONE Weekly reports on the Democrat and Decline to State Poll are pouring in from Nixon for Governor Community Headquarters throughout the county. ARE YOUR REPORTS AMONG THEM? The results are tabulated here by community and division and are sent to Dick once a week. He wants to know how it's going in your community. LET US KNOW. Once this polling is completed, (and it has been in a number of areas) you will be ready to phone every Republican, Friendly Democrat, and undecided voter during the four-dey Operation Telephone BLITZ immediately pre­ ceding Election Day (excluding Sunday).

iiCHAT ~1ITH PAT" COFFEE HOURS Ten of these Coffee Hours in the County were attended by an average of 500 women and a beautiful and gracious . Pat had the opportunity to talk LnformaLky with the guests and a "pdtch" was made for those attending to hold their own Precinct Coffee Hours to raise money to buy phones; recruit volunteer telephoners for the Operation Telephone BLITZ, and aid the Victory Squad effort by recruitin Election Day workers. Pat called the Coffees a "great successR and was highly enthusiastic about the recruiting of volunteers.

UNDECIDED VOTER ~AILING Each community should decide no later than Tuesday, October 16th, whether or not an undecided voter mailing should be made from the local headquarters. If it is so decided, please give your field represen­ tative the quantity of the mailing and you will be furnished with a letter from Dick Nixon and mailing envelope for each such voter not later than October 22nd. It will then be your job to address the envelopes with the names of undecided voters in your area, affix postage, and make the mailing early in the week of October 29th. One suggestion•••if you plan to make an undecided voter mailing, you may wish to begin having your volunteers address gummed labels which can be pasted onto the envelopes when they are delivered to you from State Headquarters.

DEMOCPJ1T ~~ILING Each community should also decide not later than Tuesday, October 16th, whether or not a mailing should be made to local registered Democrats. If it is so decided, please give your field representative the quantity of the mailing and you will be furnished with a self-mailer piece from headquarters not later than October 22nd. It will then be your job to address each self-mailer, affix postage, and make the mailing early in the week of October 29th. As suggested above with respect to an undecided voter mailing, you may wish to begin having your volunteers address gummed labels which can be pasted onto the self-mailing pieces when they are delivered to you from State Headquarters. You are re~inded that a self-mailer is a folder which can be mailed without need for an envelope. The addres­ sing and stamping is done on the piece itself.

BUMPER STICKERS Every community should understand the absolute necessity for having bumper sticker teams organized and operating between now and Election Day. Stickers, or "traveHng billboards, IV do much to build spirit and signify the enthusiasm of the electorate for Dick Nixon's candidacy. Bumper sticker teams should be operating at all major shopping centers and other large parking areas on Saturdays and other days in the week when heavy traffic can be forecast. Shopping nights are ideal for this program. How about your Young Sports Fans for Nbton program? Is it coming along in good shape? Get your youngsters instructed on this program••• Remember, you could see to it that the kids in your community get an opportunity to participate and are thereby given a fair chance to win tickets to the P~ms-Lions football game in the Coliseum on November 4th. Deadline for total scoring is October 30th. Let's go:

Your community Operation Telephone Chairman must plan now to have vol­ unteers on hand to enter the phone numbers of new registrants onto these sheets so that these newly-registered voters will be called during the four day Operation Telephone BLITZ. One word of caution: please do not waste time transferring phone numbers from the old to the new precin~sheets. Instead, the volunteers should place the new sheets side-by-side with the old ones and then make a check mark on the new sheets opposite the names of the n~1 voters whose names do not appear on the old sheets. The volunteers should then enter the phone numbers of these newly-registered voters in the usual manner next to their names. Anothe~ point to watch for -- the names of people who appeared on the old sheets but not on the new should be cr~ssed out. They are no longer registered. When the BLITZ period begins on Thursday, November 1st, the telephoners will call the telephone numbers appearing on both the old and new sheets.

POLL SHO~lS RICHARD NIXON LEADING IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES

Yesterday, October 22nd, the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner reported the results of a Western Opinion Research Center public opinion poll on the campaign. Following is the question and percentage result relative to the gubernatorial race: QUESTION If you were voting today, whom would you support for ? ANSlJER Richard Nixon, [:·7.1%. Pat Brown, 46.5%. Other answers, 6.0%. Needless to say, this poll result serves to verify and further con­ firm our soundin~s to the effect that Dick Nixon will win a great victory on Election Day. However, in order for this prediction to come true, it is necessary that we all make a continuing 100% effort in support of Dick Nixon's candidacy between now and November 6th.

VICTORY SQUAD VOLUNTEERS -- LET'S GET 'EM SIGNED UP ~

The most important task facing each community chairman for the balance of the campaign is the job of enlisting victory squad workers. We must have these workers in order to make sure that we get out the Republican vote. Each headquarters is being asked to supply a mini­ mum of 100 victory squad workers -- this is only 20 workers per day for 5 days which is hardly an impossible assignment. Each one of our headquarters should have telephoners busy calling Republicans in the local community to recruit victory squad workers. It should be emphasized to those telephoning that they should: 1. Make it clear to each prospect that his services are needed from 3 to 7 in the afternoon on election day to help get out the Republican vote and that he can indicate the area in which he wants to work. 2. Fill out the victory squad application cards as they enlist the volunteer over the telephone. Do not mail the card to the prospect. Instead, fill it out as-ni is recruited. .". -more­ - 2 ­

3. At the end of the day, collect and mail the cards directly to the Victory Squad Headquarters at the address shown on the face of the card. Mail in a sealed envelope !'FIRST CLASS." 4. Code each card with the initial "N" on the upper right hand corner and list your headquarters abbreviation. Of course, everyone of our leadership group should plan to participate in victory squad activity on election day. Each such person should also fill out and mail a card to Victory Squad Headquarters. Remember -- all of our activity over these many months doesn't mean a thing if we fail to get out the vote on November 6th.

GIANT TELETHON SET FOR NOVEMBER 3RD Dick Nixon will climax his campaign on Saturday evening, November Jrd, when he appears on a 5-hour telethon before local television cameras.

The telethon will be shown on Station KTTV (Channel 11) from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Because of the tremendous demand at earlier tele­ thons, two additional hours were obtained at the peak viewing time in order that Dick would have more time to answer questions. In addition to being televised locally in Los Angeles, present plans include the tele­ vising of a portion of the telethon in San Diego and San Francisco and carrying the program statewide over CBS radio. This very important program should be talked up by everyone in the campaign. All indications are that the show will have one of the largest viewing and listening audiences in local and statewide TV history. Our efforts should now be aimed at in­ suring this result. ELECTION DAY ACTIVITIES On Election Day, the primary responsibility of the Nixon organization is to supple­ ment the efforts of the County's precinct and victory squad workers by means of an efficient and effective telephone program. Multiple copies of complete instructions for telephoning and poll checking on Election Day have been mailed to each Nixon headquarters. Telephoners and poll checkers should be recruited and everything put in order for a massive get-out-the-vote effort. CAMPAIGN LITERATURE You are again reminded of the need to make certain that every last piece of campaign material is out of the office and into the hands of the voters before Election Day. The investment in time and money that we have in this material is terrific. And we should make every effort to get 100% distribution. Let's be certain of this! ELECTION NIGHT VICTORY CELEBRATION

I'Their desire to work for the cause of good government is further assurance to the people of the State that, AS OUR NEXT GOVERNOR, DICK NIXON WILL RETURN DECISIVE AND CON­ sTRucTIvE LEADERSHIP TO CALIFORNIA. 11

CALIFORNIAIS FARMERS CAN1T TAKE BROWN EITHER That's why some of the Statels most noted growers and ranchers have formed a FARMERS FOR NIXON COMMITTEE. Yuba City peach grower J. L. Sullivan, one of the group1s co-chairmen, said: "We're tired of the consistently anti-farmer attitude of the Brown administration ..• Dick Nixon can restor e the kind of solid leadershi to Sacramento that we need. 11 Membership of the organization extends across bot party rne s an represents all of California's vast farming interests, from the beef ranges of Modoc County to the citrus groves of San Diego and Imperial Counties ... Headquarters of the group is at 1027 Eye Street, Modesto, Phone: 523-1958.

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN ORDERS BOYCOTT OF ANTI-COMMUNIST QUESTIONNAIRE California Democrats and Republicans alike have been shocked by the brazen instruct­ ion of Eugene L. Wyman, Southern California Democratic Party Chairman and dutiful errand boy of Governor Brown, for Democratic candidates to ignore the questionnaire submitted by the Anti-Communist Voters League. By this action, candidates of his Party are encouraged to deny to the voters essential information concerning their attitudes on questions involving the loyalty oath, Congressional investigating committees, the admis sion of Red China to the United Nations, and other is sues pertinent to the deter­ mination of a responsible understanding of the Communist conspiracy. Every candidate should follow Dick Nixon's example by responding unequivocally to this questionnaire. To do otherwise is to commit a treacherous deception and disservice to the people of California. Gov. Brown and Mr. Wyman are not contributing to the elevation of either their own Party or the cause of good government by this kind of unconscionable pussy­ footing. NIXON FOR GOVERNOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ORGANIZATION BOOMS Northern California Campaign Chairman ANDREW DOWNEY ORRICK has announced add­ itional campaign appointments •.. San Francisco attorney JAMES W. HALLEY is Chair­ man of the Campaign Division ... ROBERT H. STEELE of Wells Fargo Bank, has been named Chairman of the Contact Division •.. RICHARD NAIR, an investment banker, is Chairman of the Win Division ..• ART DOLAN of Blythe and Co , , and PAUL DAVIES of the Food Machinery Corp., of San Jose, have been named Finance Co-Chairmen ...• Chairman Orrick says Dick Nixon's campaign is going "GREAT GUNS" in Northern California ... "DICK'S RECEPTION PLACE AFTER PLACE IN THE NORTH HAS BEEN SHORT OF FANTASTIC -- WE'VE ALREADY APPOINTED 175 COMMUNITY CHAIRMEN AND HAVE OPENED 24 FULL-TIME HEADQUARTERS," is Orrick's optimistic report.

"A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME" Democratic pundits and henchmen of California's rubber -kneed Governor, Pat Brown are worried by Dick Nixon's campaign ... He's still talking and acting like the in­ credibly successful campaigner of the past 16 years -- and, SINCE THEY ONLY HOLLER WHEN THEY HURT, it's fair to guess that he called the shots too close for comfort when he dubbed the steady flow of administration flunkies, past and potential, as "carpetbaggers." People with memories longer than the end of their noses recall that Franklin Roosevelt played the same partisan political game under the cloak of "inspection trips" ... But supporters of Dick Nixon aren't going to let the New Frontiersman of the Potomac River have it so easy in 1962. If Pat Brown insists upon being "propped up" by an endless cavalcade of out of state Democrats, BOTH HE AND THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER DIRECTLY to the people of California for what they are: imported "instant" starch to bolster the limp leadership of California's present Governor. Contrary to some reports, Dick Nixon has been consistently cautioning Califor:nians against the "carpetbagger" invasion ever since Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey assured the California Democratic Council that "All you have to do is push the button, place the order, and we will be out here to help you finish the job started in 1960. " On the other hand, Dick Nixon has very clearly and properly welcomed represent­ atives of the Administration to California when their presence is not motivated by partisan political requirements. "We want them to enjoy our climate and scenery," he said, "but we don't welcome those members of the Kennedy clan in the National Administration who will have to help rescue Pat Brown in his bid for re-election."

CARPETBAGGER OF THE MONTH Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, the President's brother, addressing inmates of the Federal Cor­ rectional Facility at Terminal Island: "I wish you all the best of luck. When you come out to the wide, wide world, sign for the Demo­ cratic Party."

CDC -- STILL A'FIGHTING AND A'FUSSING -- AND STILL DICTATORIAL The California Democratic Council -- still shattered, despite PUBLIC reapproachment between Governor Brown and one -time National Committeeman Paul Ziffren -- split its splinters this month when Mayor John Stevenson of Fremont angrily bolted a CDC meeting in San Jose in protest against a rigged CDC endorsement for Congress in the Ninth District ... Stevenson said the CDC convention was "NO LONGER REPRESENTATIVE 11 -- that he would run for the Congressional nomination without its endorsement .•. DICK NIXON TAKES STRONG STAND ON CALIFORNIA'S JUNIOR COLLEGE SYSTEM A new chapter should be written into the Education Code to provide greater autonomy for the State's 62 junior colleges ... At present our junior colleges are neither "fish nor fowl," Candidate Nixon recently told a California Junior College Faculty Association convention at Glendale College. Dick Nixon said the junior colleges "are trapped between the administrative controls of local school districts ... They are treated like 13th or 14th grades of public schools. II Nixon called for leadership by the Governor and State Board of Education; and the necessary legislation and follow-through by the Department of Public Instruction and the local boards and districts ...

NIXON UPHOLDS UN -AMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE Further reminding his opponents of his capacity for vigorous anti-Communist in­ fighting, Dick Nixon lashed out strongly at current moves to abolish the Hous e Committee on Un-American Activities ... A former member of this important vanguard of the Nation's security, and co-author of the Mundt-Nixon bill, the major features of which were subsequently incorporated in the "McCar r an Act," Nixon noted there are 'Iright and wrong ways" to fight Communism at home, and said the abolition of this Committee is a wrong way. "THE RIGHT WAYS ARE THROUGH INVESTIGATIONS BY THE FBI AND VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF COMMUNIST PARTY MEMBERS UNDER THE SUBVERSIVE CONTROL ACT."

BROWN REFUSES TO REPUDIATE LEFTIST YOUNG DEMOCRATS Res ponsible members of both political parties in California have registered both shock and dismay at Governor Brown's adamant refusal to repudiate ... or even discuss ... the far -Ieft and Communist-appeasing positions taken a few weeks ago by the California Young Democratic Organization at its yearly Fresno meeting ... The YD's went on record as being IN FAVOR OF U. S. RECOGNITION OF RED CHINA, and as approving the ABOLITION OF THE HOUSE UN -AMERICAN ACT­ 1vITIEs COMMITTEE. THE YD'S ALSO ASKED FOR U. S. RECOGNITION OF COMMUNIST CUBA, and the ABOLITION OF LOYALTY OATHS~ Why does Governor Brown refuse to take a stand on the views of these Young Democrats who are his friends and supporters? Does he or does he not agree with them? Is his silence based on political expediency or does he hold to these same principles? Why does he refus e to answer? .112 INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Nixon for Governor

LOS ANGELES TELETHON SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBl':R 3RD The last in a series of seven regional telethons has been scheduled for Saturday night t November 3rd. On that date, Dick Nixon will climax his campaign with a 5-hour appearance before local television cameras. Because of the tremendous demand on all previous telethons to give Dick more time to answer questions, an additional two hours has been obtained at the peak viewing time.

The telecast will be shown on Char~el ll-KTTV from 6:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. and from 10:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. In addition to being shown locally in Los Angeles on tele­ vision, present plans are to simulcast statewide over the CBS radio network. This very important program should be talked up by everyone in the campaign. We are certain that the show will have one of the largest viewing audiences in local TV history. Our efforts should be aimed at insuring such a result. More on this next week.

VICTORY SQUAD AGAIN --- LET'S Gel We are much encouraged by the victory squad response of many of our community chairmen and headquarters --- and because of this response our inventory of victory squad cards have been building at a good rate. However, some of our chairmen and headquarters have not performed at the level requested. Let's all go over the top on this most important program. Remember, each headquarters should have several telephoners busily engaged in calling prospective volunteer~. As volunteers are recruited, they should be signed up over the telephone directly onto victory squad cards which have been provided. As was said in the last Newslett~r, if we don't turn out the vote on the 6th all of our activity over these many months won't mean a thing.

Your field representative will be callir.g you often with the repeat~d request for additional names. Please make certain that you do your part to insure a successful victory squad effort.

nID·;PER STICKERS Let's all make certain that bumper sticker teams are organized and are out in force this weekend at all shopping centers and other major parking areas in your community. Our bumper sticker program must be pushed on all fronts --- right up to the day of the election. Let's get 'em onl.
